how to stop the airbag warning light when removing seats?

[NCC-74656]

I want to put aftermarket front seats in my 182 but don't want the airbag warning light. I hear you can put a 3ohm resistor in the cable end. Searched and found a previous thread but it was unresolved. Any instructions on how to do this properly. I have also seen kits on ebay that do this but they are £38 quid per seat !!. for a bit a plastic.
ta for any help.

If you know someone with the Renault 'Clip' computer diagnostic system, you can get them to turn off the seat airbags. Hey presto, no lights.

Same with the steering wheel too.

Thanks for reply. i dont know any1. I wanted to avoid messing with the ecu in case it distrubs the custom map. I liked the idea of bodging it with a resistor better.

Ah also.. i can just unplug the seats without the air bags attacking my face?

Yes they just unplug, they won't go off in your face. and getting them switched off properly will have no effect on your map. At all.

If you want to bodge it then I can't offer any advice as I've never done it. I prefer to get my cars fixed properly. ;-)

As above via clip the ebay kit will just be a resister

Can also do it with a rs tuner

It's a different ECU you ninny. There's no messing with the ECU, it's s totally standard procedure to reprog them. I've done it plenty of times.

ninny lol.. yeh i'm not very technically minded.

Recently installed Recaros in my 182 and subsequently had the airbag warning light on, cleared it by fitting 3.3 ohm resistors from Maplins.
